Screenings
As a part of this comprehensive health care program, the following screenings are conducted with Cooper Junior High School students:
-
Vision and hearing screening of all 7th graders
-
Vision and hearing screening of all New to WISD 8th graders
-
Acanthosis Nigricans screening completed on all students
-
Scoliosis screening done on all 7th Grade Girls and 8th Grade Boys
-
Height and weight recorded on all students
Parents will be notified if results from any of these screening procedures suggest the need for further evaluation by the student’s physician via a letter sent home in the mail. If you need assistance with further evaluations, please call or email me.
School nurses are supportive partners with parents by ensuring their child’s medical needs are monitored and through early nursing intervention decrease school absenteeism and increase the instructional time inside the classroom. This partnership is successful with the parent’s participation in reviewing the attached policies, procedures, forms, and health information. All parents need to complete the Annual Student Health History.
We care about your student and know that students must be healthy in order to be educated, and they must be educated in order to remain healthy.
Parents are encouraged to contact me for any problems or questions.
